Parents are creating an "I want it now" generation by indulging children’s every demand on Christmas, say experts. Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish, claim the education analysts. Those children are forcing their families into racking up huge debts and risking becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.
Behavioral consultant Chris Calland says, "Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale for their kids. There’s nothing wrong with that as such. The problem arises when it means always giving in to all our children’s demands—even if they are beyond our price range or not age-appropriate. "
Ms. Calland, who runs "Santa Says No" style sessions with her colleague Nicky Hutchinson, adds, "To provide the gifts our children want, many of us get into so much debt that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills. Yet so often the parcels we’ve carefully wrapped, once opened, are just set aside because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for cannot interest him or her now. "
Ms. Calland and Ms. Hutchinson have drawn up guidelines to help parents manage their offspring’s Christmas lists this year. They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting "pester power(缠功)".
Ms. Calland says, " All too often we say yes because we want an easier life while the fact is that we’ re only building up problems for the future. We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to. the needs of others and the necessity of hard work. " She adds, "Children learn fast—if we sometimes change our mind, they quickly realize it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it. Make sure you and your partner are working together on this. Be consistent. And try not to get caught up in competition with other families or friends. "
What is probably the aim of "Santa Says No" style sessions?
选项
A、To advise on how to wrap gifts properly.
B、To keep children’s interest in gifts.
C、To tell parents how to say no to children’s demands.
D、To advise parents on what gifts to buy for children.
答案
C
解析
根据第三、四段内容可知,“圣诞老人说不”活动的创始人说给孩子买其想要的礼物使许多父母负债累累,而孩子在打开礼物包装之后就会对其失去兴趣;该活动的两位创始人还拟订了准则来帮助父母对付他们孩子的圣诞节礼物清单,他们说成人实际上可以通过抵挡孩子要求父母买东西的缠功来改善其与孩子的关系。出此可推知,“圣诞老人说不”活动的目的很可能是告诉父母如何对孩子的要求说不。故选C。
